Thought for the day…..” Follow your heart, but take your brain with you”.

Did you know that the human face has 43 muscles in it? Or that it takes 17 muscles to smile whereas it needs 43 to frown? The face also contains the hardest part of our bodies (the teeth), the hardest bone in our bodies (the jawbone). The strongest muscle in our bodies (in relation to its size) is the human tongue. Humans are also the only animals to produce emotional tears. And also amazing is that the human brain is consuming about 20% of the total oxygen used in the human body. And on average, the skin is replaced every 27 days.

So here is a photo of a human face, a passenger in evening sunlight onboard a ferry. Bright sunlight and also light reflecting from the surrounding white surfaces gave great conditions for this photo. The wind from the moving ferry has produced an interesting hair style though !!

Yesterday, 6th February was Waitangi Day in New Zealand. It is a public holiday held each year to celebrate the signing of the famous Waitangi treaty, which made New Zealand part of the British Empire. There is still a lot of argument over the true translation of the treaty, and the celebrations at Waitangi have often been accompanied with minor troubles and protests. Waitangi Day is also the same date as Bob Marley’s birthday. As Waitangi Day falls in the hottest part of summer in New Zealand, then many people use the extra public holiday to visit the beach.

Some winter sunshine in the photo today of the Silja Symphony boat arriving in Helsinki Finland. The temperature was around -15 degrees at the time.
